True, unless they say "Bore $400, Hone $400". :( My assumption is a "hand hone" is basically using a 3 stone tool like I have. From the machinist (Victory Automotive Machine) To remove all oil galley and water plugs along with cam bearings. $105.00. Hot tank block $205.00. We’ve rarely seen a small block Chrysler that doesn’t need to be bored. But to hand hone a V8 is $200. To power hone a V8 is $400. To bore and hone s V8 is $800. To deck the block is $295.00.
Unfortunately, i've dug around here in san jose best price I can find is like $375 Bore and requires a little drive. The machine shop near me I could probably roll my engine stand with block to - its like half a block down but it's a small bespoke shop and he does good work. I like the proximity if I'm gonna spend it.
